Goodreads asked Melissa L. Cook:

Can you tell us a two-sentence horror story?

Melissa L. Cook A 20-year-old extremely pregnant gal sweeps up the back of a rural country store when an ex-con and his friend come through the door. They scoped out the place for two weeks planning a horrific and bloody crime, but the two of them were no match for this young woman who promptly stabbed one in the temple with the end of a broom and escaped their expectant torcher chamber.

True story... That woman was me... That ex-con committed the horrendous act he had planned for that day two months later. You never know who might be coming through the door on a sunny weekday afternoon. Guards up, ladies.
